SEC Fans Might Not Want to Read This

From loading up with nonconference creampuffs to a denying an undefeated Boise State a shot at the national title, Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press says college football is a mess. And he's not buying the "SEC is better" argument. "If the SEC is so superior, why did Arkansas and Tennessee — two of Florida's 'impressive' victories — lose bowls to Big Ten teams?" Albom believes the Ohio State team that beat Michigan in mid-November would have beaten Florida the following Saturday. Problem is, the following Saturday came seven weeks later. Thanks to the Midwest Correspondent.

It's funny how when a big 10 team loses in the title game suddenly everyone talks about the long layoff. I don't remember anyone discussing this when Ohio State won the championship a few years ago. Or when USC dominated Oklahoma 2 years ago. This layoff has been around for decades. These guys need to get over it - the better team won this game, no matter when it was played.

I didn't read the article. I quit reading after I saw "Mitch Album of Detroit Free Press".......I've read some of his stuff and listened to him on "Sports Reporters" the sideburn-less wonder is a Northerner homer like no other.
